I know hawg wired has them because you told me so. I also found a gent on roadglide.orf that custom makes them but is out of stock. I just sent out emails to a bunch of accessory companies to see if they had anything. I was hoping to get some that could accomodate a bigger speaker.Do you think a 5.25 is adequate? Especially since I can put 7.5's in the dash and bags???

I never thought of running the lowers and lids off the same channel. That's a good point to ponder. What are the pro's and con's??
I was thinking if I had a separate control for the back I could regulate it for my wife when she's along.

I'm running 6.5's in my uppers and 5.25's in my lowers , I was going to change my lowers to 6.5's but I listened to another guys bike who had the identical system as me but had changed his lowers ans uppers to 6.5s and I could not tell any difference , it saved me $300 because I was about to order HW 6.5's and Harley CVO brackets for my lowers at a cost of 3 bills , if I didn't already have mine done I'd probably put 6.5's but I personally didn't hear the difference , when I pulled my 5.25's out of my upper fairing and put 6.5's there I could hear a difference in my garage but on the highway I couldn't tell a difference , I'm running all Hawg Wired and it is expensive but at 85mph with loud pipes and no helmet I can hear my tunes crystal clear at about 60% volume
Sorry, I was freaking out. I know hawg wired has them because you told me so. I also found a gent on roadglide.orf that custom makes them but is out of stock. I just sent out emails to a bunch of accessory companies to see if they had anything. I was hoping to get some that could accomodate a bigger speaker.

Hey, great job. I guess it's not rocket science eh? As long as it fits snug, and doesn't rattle I suppose you can't miss. Did you post a photo history of when you mounted them??

J & M the way to go
I've got the stock head unit with 7 1/4 rockkers in the batwing fairing with the hogtunes tweeter pod and 250 w J & M 2 channel amp, sounds clear and loud at half volume going 80mph does sound great.
